Continue reading Celebrate the Hollywood Sign with a New Fragrance!If you live in Hollywood, you probably know the split personality that is Melrose Avenue. East of Fairfax are the trendy, skater, streetwear brands, or the hipster trader outpost. These seem to be mostly inspired by the de facto performing arts highschool on the corner of Fairfax on Melrose that boasts a huge Flea Market just about every weekend.
From Fairfax to La Cienega, the age and income brackets start to rise as you pass more skin care brands, galleries, the famous Glossier building and the infamous Pink wall. The eats become more trendy and the “LA” of it all begins to kick in. Whether it’s arguing about getting tar-tar at Catch Steak or trying to get a table at EP&LP, there’s no turning back, you are decidedly in the thick of it.

It’s Oscars Weekend and the stars are out, but not just to see who takes the gold! The 15th Annual Susan DeLaurentiis Productions Gala celebrated the veterans who keep this country safe and paid homage to those we’ve lost. With a luncheon, fashion show and key presentations, several showed up to pay their respects.
We talked to John Savage, Donny Most, Morgan Fairchild about what makes the event so important. We also had a chance to chat with vendors who create products with our veterans in need.

Transplants are vital to the veteran community and having positive representation really does help more people decide to donate.

Listen, I love a Marvel film and I’m just nerdy enough to understand the implications the film is supposed to have as it ushers in Phase 5. What I’m at a loss to understand is just why this task was laid at the feet of Ant-Man.
